Since my last post…

Yes, my SSD failed, and I had to replace it. Replacement arrived and installation was quick and painless. Aside from the rat’s nest of cable behind the tower that keeps getting worse and worse. I think it their mating season. But with the new SSD, I also ordered a SATA power ‘y’ adapter so I could add the third hard drive. I’m mainly going to use it as an internal backup (in addition to my usb external backup).

I voted last week. Defnitely not for Cheetos-Face. Of all the candidates this year, Biden is the most qualified. He has also not gone on record for openly glorifying sexual assualt. Whatever happens next Tuesday night, I’ve done my part.

The weather has definetly cooled off. I took down my AC for the season a couple of weeks ago, and last week, I started turning on the heat. That reminds me, I need to pay the electric bill….

He has it...

I'm not going to denigrate the office of President Of The United States by even associating any party of it with Donald Trump....

So now even Cheetos-Face has Covid-19. Abs free was even hospitalized for it (though I think that may be more his handlers realizing that the holder of his office is also the leader of the free world, and there must needs be more caution involved....

Yes, Cheetos-Face has it. She I wish him a shoddy recovery. I completely disagree with his policies, and I'm definitely not voting for him. But I want him to leave the White House in handcuffs, not feet first... 

So many have passed...

Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Bill at the Pro Desk (from my previous job at Home Depot). And tonight, Eddie Van Halen. Hold your loved ones closer now, they may be gone tomorrow.... 

A Hard Drive Failure tonight….

It appears as though my SSD has bitten the dust. The one that I bought back in May. and unfortunately, as part of the trouble shooting, I wiped both of my other drives (thank The Flying Spaghetti Monster that I did have a recent backup from a month ago). But still, it’s a pain in the ass. But lesson learned. Replacement drive has been ordered. And I made sure that it’s compatible with my motherboard. I’m stepping down from a 2tb to a 1tb drive, but the interface is going from SATA to PCIE 3.0x4 so it’ll be faster. I just can’t run Linux on it anymore….

RIP Western Digital Blue 2 tb m2 ssd. But did you have to take down my whole system with you?

And I know it was a hard drive failure, because in frustration I booted into Gparted and tried to wipe everything, and I could even wipe this drive.
